Former Occupation: History teacher at Theresa A. Gold Academy, middle grades

According to Dr. Grange, she was fending off his advances when Wyatt Yin, another teacher, walked in on them (not true). Also according to her, he resigned shortly after she left (also not true - she dismissed him).^[2]
According to photographic evidence, which was sent to her husband at the time, Reginald P. Greenwald, they were having sex.
According to Darcie Finn-Powell, he was the last teacher to have sex with her at TAG, but not the first.
According to Yin, he claimed Grange pressured him into having sex, and he was very new and very young - she told him he had to if he wanted to keep his position. Yin convinced him to report her since she’d used her power and authority to coerce him into sex. She countered it, saying he had assaulted her, and he was dismissed. Yin was reprimanded for taking his side.
With the dismissal, he had a black mark on his record and wasn’t able to teach anywhere. He went back to Michigan and died in a multicar wreck five years ago, icy roads, two fatalities.^[3]
